the rate of postage would surely bring an
increased deficiency instead of the expected
surplus, which would have to- be met
by taxation in either direction. In
stead, then, of taking off the one cent
which represents the difference between
self-sust lining service and IN annual de-
ficiency, the question before Congress
would seem to be the ACCESSIBILITY Of de-
voting the handsome revenues Of the de-
partment TO the improvement of the ser
vice. Postmaster General Villas indicates
some of the WAYS in which this may be
done. Among others he mentions 1.-The
extension aud perfection OF the system
of free delivery until all communities en-
ioy its privileges which are so situated as
to make il their due: the establishment of
additional fast mail service until all the
trunk lines Of mail communication are 80
provided; enlargement of the foreign par

a. TO embrace all countries with which a
retail trade will be advantageous to our
people; and the addition Of some auxil-
iaries to our means of postal. convenience
calculated to enhance the utility of the
service to the people"
This would seem to indicate what the
department and the country most requires
of Congress.

of the Condition of the Markets at the
Close of the Year.
NEW YORK, December % -BrddstreetS
says: Business in the Eastern wool mar
kets is generally called dull, though the
volume of sales compares well with last
December Prices are no better than
steady. In some quarters the usual dis
position to close out holdings at the end OF
the year is apparent, and buyers are
quick to take supplies which are offered
at slight concessions. Still, they do
not seem to anticipate future re-
quirements to any extent. Holders
look for more activity after the opening of
heavy weight goods next month, and yet
buyers are likely to be as cautious as ever.
ConsignOrs from the country manifest
general confidence, and many Of them are
holding their supplies out of the market.
There is more than the average strength
in medium wOols There ia less buOyancv
in Boston than the first OF the month, and
the general temper of the trade is in favor
of buyers.
Current quotations for leading sorts are
az follows, in comparison with last year

PENNY POSTAGE.

A resolution WAS introduced in She Sen
ate Wednesday by Mr.. BECK, and referred
TO the committee ON pOstotiices, directing
inquiry to he made into the ACCESSIBILITY
of reducing the rate OF letter postage to
one cent per ounce.
OF course penny postage is very desir-
able, but is it pressingP Are there not in
Vulnerable other matters thas are pressing
and should receive immediate attention?
Tax reduction, tor instance. The present
rates of postage. the lowest in the world,
are not burdensOme on the pOor man. They
are not burdenSome on anyone. Nobody
complains OF them. Il may even he
doubted whether there ia any considerable
interest among the people in securing
further reduction
The rates of postage in this country are
now the lowest in the world, especially
when the distance Of transportation is con-
sidered. The insignificant sum saved to
the individual would not he saved as
general rule to the poor man, and would
not he appreciated while the gross amount
taken from the revUuue Of the POstollice
Department would make substantial
difference in its financial showing. 1t il,
therefore, - De considered whether the
greater public heUcGt is ROT to he gained
ny applying the income 70 an increase OF
the accommodations which the people now
enjoy in quick and frequent collection
and transmission of their letters and the
prompt delivery, rather than in renting
a tax which they do not feel.
1t is apparent that the postal service is
rapidly reaching the seli-sustaining point
The reduction of rates of postage in
1855 at once produced q large deficit,
which the improving business of the
following years has cut down, until,
in his recent report, the Postmaster
General ventures the prediction that IF
the revenues be not further crippled, and
only similar ratio or increasing expendi-
ture be held, the next fiscal year will
yield surplus" Mr.. Villas further
states that the time is not far distant when
the rate of letter postage, and also that on
merchandise, may properly be lowered.
This flourishing condition of the fnan-
ces of the PostOfiee Department, however,
must be attributed to the general prosper
ity in business and the extension Of COM
mercial enterprises quite as much as the
increased use of the mails under the re-
duced rates. The revenue, therefore, may
be expected to auctuate with the state of
business throughout the country, and in
case Of period of depression to show a
considerable falling off, A reduction in

A HEALTHY change is noticeable IN the
Moundsville Sickle since those sterling
Young Democrats, MeSsrs. EWING and
OLDHAM, have taken charge Of it. New
life is infused IN every column Of the
paper; its tone is excellent, and its news
columns greatly improved. 1t is just what
the Democracy OF MARSHALL county has
stood long in need of to protect its inter
ests and organization from the attacks OF
INSCRIPTIONS Republican Partisans from
without, aided and abetted by designing
and tricky baruacles from within. An
open enemy is an honorable one, and you
know how to meet him, but the snake in
the grass who il after booty and consorts
with the public enemy because he cannot
get chance to loot the treasury at his
own sweet will is q character who wants
the closest watching. The Sickle under
its new management will take pleasure IN
looking after just such people, and in
handling them without gloves.

LANDS message on the tariff, he would
have an easy victory; but he either had
not read the message, or chose not to I'M
derstand its plain teaching when he as
sumed that he was accepting battle
against free trade. There is not an im-
portant paragraph of the Presidents mess
aye that does not emphasize the necessity
Of reducing tariff duties in harmony with
the positive protection of American labor,
and how can that be harmOnized with free
trade? viii Mr.. BLAINE propose to carry
the protection principle beyond the pro-
lection OF labor? II 80, he Plunges

when the country il exceptionally
sensitive about the growth and oppression
Of monopoly; ii not, wherein Will MT

agree to reduce revenues; both agree to
protect labor, and how is the issue to
serve Mr.. BLAINE unless he demands the
continuance of a measure Of so-called pro-
lection that grievously Expresses labor?
''Mr. BLAINE was the tOrerunner OF MIR.
CLEVELAND in demanding that coal, salt
and other raw materials should be put on
the free list, and will he now oppose the
enlargement OF the free list in defiance OF
his own teaching? He hes also preceded
